When I started Firefox it failed to restore my previous tabs and groups, and "Restore previous session" was greyed out. On previous occasions I have made a backup of my profile, found the backup session store file and use that to successfully restore my session. On this occasion however, this is not working.
What I'm trying to do now is to see if I can edit the recovery.bak file to try to get it working – e.g. find corruption and remove it. One thing I've noticed to start off with is that the count of "[" symbols is much higher than the count of "]" symbols – presumably they should be equal.
Is there anywhere I can find information on the format of this file? One thing I'm wondering is how it stores tab groups, so that I can isolate tabs from particular groups and remove them.
How do I get the address bar to go back on top. Classic Theme Restorer did not help. Is there a config setting I can use?

Weirdly, when I go into customization and exit out twice, everything is back to how I like it - from top to bottom: Address, Bookmark toolbar, developer toolbar, tabs - but it doesn't stick. I don't do anything in customization, just open and exit out, open and exit out.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello.
I am designing a new web app using bootstrap and a custom set of font icons. They render in both Safari, and in Chrome... but not FireFox.
I looked at some of the help articles https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1017796, etc. but to no avail. I am testing localy so there isn't a problem with the server.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Richard Belotte
New firefox doesn't automatically sign me out from yahoo when closed

I usually save my open tabs when I close firefox. If I'm signed in yahoo I am automatically signed out and at firefox restart I am at the yahoo sign in page. After updating to ff 36 I find myself logged in yahoo at ff restart.
I have unticked the option to keep me signed in at the yahoo start-up page, so this is a very serious thing security-wise. Imagine I am in an internet cafe checking my emails and there is a power cut. I have no way to sign out and the next user will find yahoo signed in to my account.
I don't want to have firefox deleting cookies every time I use it, or checking every browser I am using of what the settings are. And even if I do, it still won't resolve the issue posed in the above scenario.
Any advice plz?

Every page that has SSL enabled gives me an error saying that This Connection is Untrusted, Error code: sec_error_expired_issuer_certificate.
Even if I add an exception for every site(which is in no way practical) the site content still does not appear correctly.
This happens for sites like https://www.google.com and also https://support.mozilla.org I'm using Firefox 36 and I would have included screenshots but the site would not allow me to upload images.

I'm not having any problems receiving incoming mail but outgoing isn't happening. I receive an error message but sadly, it doesn't stay up long enough to copy it verbatim and I can't get the full message in the activity log either. It's something about not being able to connect the IMAP...may exceed # of connections. I have 2 e-mails set up for this. I've double and tripled checked all settings. I'm at a complete loss. Any help or clues to follow will be appreciated.

For about a month or so Firefox has been crashing constantly. At first I'd get errors about the plug-in container. Someone suggested deleting that, but it didn't solve the problem. I've removed and reinstalled both Firefox and flash but that didn't fix it. Although I don't get errors about the plug-in container anymore, now it often just freezes, or it will tell me that firefox has crashed.
I've tried most of the other remedies that were suggested on this forum. I toggled hardware acceleration, I've updated my graphics card drivers, I've re-installed without all the plug-ins.
Now that I reinstalled there doesn't seem to be any record of crash reports either, even though it has crashed 4-5 times since the reinstall. Do I need to do something to enable crash reports?
Thanks for any help you can give!!

I use profile option "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" = yes (check marked)
Middle clicking on a search suggestion in the Search Bar does open a new tab but Firefox does not switch to it.
This feature used to work for many years until very recently.
Anybody have any ideas?

Having a weird issue on my site. With the latest version of Firefox 36, anytime I try to upload a file of type doc or pdf, I am getting the following error:
Secure Connection Failed
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.
This is working on all other browsers and previous versions of firefox. This also works if the page isn't using https. We've checked over the SSL certificates and they are up-to-date. I'm just puzzled at how certain file types cause this issue.
I'm just using the following straightforward code to test:
<title>File Upload</title>
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" id="editTemplateMultipart-editForm" method="post"> <input name="myFile" type="file"> <button>Send the file</button> </form>Thanks for your help

I used to move the browser window around by grabbing the tiny space between tabs and the top edge, but since the last three or four updates, I have had great difficulty finding the right spot. It often takes me three or four attempts before the window will move. Super annoying. Am I the only one with this problem? Is it a Firefox thing or a MacOSX thing?

I am using FF36 and attempting to create new Sync account. I am using a valid email account that is working. I have requested a confirming email multiple times over the last couple of days so I can validate the account. Nothing. I added mozilla as trusted. I checked all trash, junk, and spam files. Email not misplaced, Just not recieved. I even turned off zonealarm for a while to see if firewall might be blocking. Still no email from Mozilla.
I was amazed to get an email allowing me to set up this account. I cannot imagine why this worked but Sync email won't get through.

Opening question says most of it really. The games site in question, RoyalGames, has options to select the game you want to play which then shows a little pop up box with some information and the 'Accept and play' option. This is the box that is not showing straightaway (although does tend to flash onto the screen briefly) but if I scroll down and up again, or look at another tab and go back....abracadabra ! There it is.
Tried the sites help section but they just sent back the usual.....try updating Flash player, try clearing cache, try downloading Google Chrome, etc......
I have tried disabling pop up blocker (never had been a problem before though) and ABP, but they make no difference either.
It's not a big deal, more of a niggle really, but any suggestions would be appreciated
